OFEG-TECH
Successful outcome from the first meeting
OFEG partners have expressed strong support for its new OFEG-TECH initiative following a very successful first meeting of OFEG-TECH. This meeting was held over two-days in Bergen, Norway and was attended by 18 operational representatives of OFEG partners.
The main outcomes of the meeting included: exchange of information on the operational set-up of partner organisations; planned development of a website for partners to share information on, and their experience of, marine equipment; and the identification of common problems.
Following the success of the first meeting, it was agreed that the next OFEG-TECH meeting will be held at NIOZ during November 2008 and that Colin Day (NERC) would take on the role of OFEG-TECH Chairman and that Marck Smit (NIOZ) would take on the role of OFEG-TECH Secretary.
